Cold storage panel supply in Kenya by Refitec Kenya. High-quality PIR and PU insulated panels for cold rooms, freezer rooms, and prefabricated structures. Call +254 704 843 613.
Kenya’s construction sector has embraced insulated sandwich panels for cold storage, food processing, and prefabricated buildings, and panel quality varies dramatically between suppliers. Inferior panels with thin skins, inconsistent foam density, and weak cam-locks fail within a few years, leaking cold air and consuming electricity. Refitec Kenya stocks dependable PIR and PU panels manufactured to consistent density and thickness tolerances, and backs every consignment with technical advice, so that contractors and end users build structures that perform to specification for decades.
Cold Storage Panel Supply (PIR/PU) by Refitec Kenya
Insulated sandwich panels are the building blocks of every cold room, freezer room, and controlled-environment structure. The quality of the panel determines how well the room holds temperature, how much energy the refrigeration system consumes, and how long the structure remains sound. Refitec Kenya supplies high-quality PIR (polyisocyanurate) and PU (polyurethane) insulated panels to contractors, developers, and business owners in Nairobi and across Kenya, together with the accessories, fabrication, and installation support needed to complete a professional cold storage structure.
PIR and PU Panels Explained
Both PIR and PU panels consist of a rigid foam insulation core bonded between two pre-painted galvanized or stainless steel skins. The closed-cell foam core gives the panel its outstanding thermal performance, meaning a thinner panel achieves the same insulation as much thicker traditional materials.
- PU (polyurethane) panels are the established standard for cold rooms and freezer rooms, offering excellent insulation strength, durability, and structural stability at low temperatures.
- PIR (polyisocyanurate) panels offer improved fire performance, with superior resistance to ignition and lower smoke spread, making them the preferred choice where fire safety regulations are stricter.
Typical thicknesses range from 50 to 200 millimetres. Chillers commonly use 75 to 100 millimetre panels, while freezer rooms and blast freezers require 150 to 200 millimetre panels to prevent heat ingress and condensation on outer surfaces.
Panel Accessories and Fabrication
We supply the complete panel system, not just sheets. Our range includes corner panels, three-way and two-way joints, coving for hygienic rounded corners, ceiling suspension systems, floor sections, flashing and trims, food-grade silicone sealants, and cam-lock fastening systems that pull panels together into tight, aligned joints. We also supply matching insulated doors, hinged and sliding, and vision panels where required.
Applications
Our PIR and PU panels are used for cold rooms, freezer rooms, blast freezers, food processing clean rooms, pharmaceutical storage, ripening rooms, server rooms, and prefabricated insulated structures. Panels are supplied cut to project dimensions, which speeds up on-site erection and reduces waste.
Technical Support and Delivery
Refitec Kenya advises clients on the correct panel thickness for their operating temperature, humidity conditions, and structural requirements, and delivers panels to sites in Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos, Thika, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, and countrywide. For clients who prefer a complete service, our own erection teams install the panel structure with sealed, airtight joints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which panel thickness do I need? As a guide, rooms operating above zero degrees Celsius use 75 to 100 millimetre panels, freezer rooms use 150 millimetre panels, and blast freezers use 150 to 200 millimetre panels; we confirm the exact specification for your operating temperature and ambient conditions. Do panels require special foundations? Insulated panels are light compared with masonry, and a level concrete slab is normally sufficient; we advise on floor build-ups during the survey. Can you deliver upcountry? Yes. We deliver panels countrywide, packed and braced to prevent transit damage, with erection available from our own teams.
We supply panels to contractors and developers in Nairobi, Thika, Nakuru, Eldoret, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nyeri, and all counties of Kenya.
